My friend's grandpa likes to tell people he runs a Vetinarian and Taxidermy business, where "either way, you get your pet back!" oh, old people. They have so much character and value. the first time I heard this was from my neighbor growing up. He was two years older than me lol. An old soul I suppose.
i used to say dag nabbit instead of damn it,at the grocery store when working.one of my favorets my grandfater would say was unloose the dogs and let them run the alley up,don't know for sure what he ment except i was to let the dogs loose on someone or somthing.
My grandma used to say "smarty arty had a party and nobody came" whenever I was telling her in detail about some fact or subject. I've heard "cats pajamas", "older than the hills", Lordy, lordy, I wish I was forty"... I'm sure I'll think of some more. this is bringing back fond memories of my great-grandmother.
smh.. my mom is old-school & uses old-school vocabulary : i.e She says "Pull your blouse down ,some.. "
"Oh my achin' word." "Fart in a mitten." "Two shakes of a lamb's tail." "Back in my day..." "Decoration day" instead of Memorial day. Calling shopping carts "wagons" or "trolleys." Also, what the fuck is a Victrola?
